@amirnetz: I don't think 3rd parties will be ignoring Sony, their userbase is still big enough to make it worth it to port games.

 

Sega Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox. They all had a 10 million+ worldwide userbase, and they all had games that were million sellers. Yet when it became clear to third party developers that these consoles would never come anywhere close to selling as well as the #1 system, third party support dried up almost overnight.

I think it all boils down to retailers, especially the big chains. As long as they believe the PS3 has a future and continue to promote the console, third parties will continue their support for it. But if retailers begin to loose faith in the PS3, third party support *will* dry up fast.

Well, the fact that multiplatform games can be on the 360 as well as the PS3 may delay that from happening.
